Ghani Chemical Industries Limited has secured formal approval from its shareholders to execute a substantial capital injection into its associated entity, GHG Emissions Mitigation Limited. According to the company’s official regulatory filing with the Pakistan Stock Exchange today, the approved transaction will allow the chemical manufacturer to invest an additional sum of up to 1,862,980,000 rupees. This capital expansion will be realized through the strategic subscription of 186.298 million right shares, carrying a nominal value of 10 rupees per share, issued entirely by the associated emissions mitigation company.
To ensure the smooth execution of this financial arrangement, the shareholders have granted explicit operational autonomy to the top tier of corporate leadership. The Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Director, and the Company Secretary of Ghani Chemical Industries Limited have been singly empowered and legally authorized to execute the investment decision. These designated officials possess the individual authority to determine the timing of the capital deployment as project milestones demand. Furthermore, they are authorized to perform all necessary legal acts, formalize deeds, and handle corporate matters required to bring the shareholder resolution into full effect.
Beyond the direct equity injection, the company’s membership greenlighted a comprehensive Sponsor Support Agreement to secure the necessary debt structuring for the associated enterprise. This agreement involves a structured partnership with Habib Bank Limited alongside other prominent financial institutions to arrange extensive credit facilities for the emission firm. The financing package comprises a substantial international trade component, specifically a Letter of Credit facility valued up to 38 million US dollars, subject to a standard 5 percent variation margin. This is accompanied by a massive localized funded facility extending up to 14.40 billion rupees, providing a robust financial foundation for the underlying industrial venture.
The immense capital pool generated through these combined credit facilities is designated for a specialized environmental and energy infrastructure project. Specifically, the funds will finance the development and setup of a gas mitigation and energy production facility situated near the Sachal Gas Processing Complex. This industrial setup aims to capture industrial emissions and convert them into productive energy formats, aligning the commercial goals of the corporate group with broader sustainability practices and regional resource optimization.
Under the strict boundaries of the ratified Sponsor Support Agreement, the financial exposure of Ghani Chemical Industries Limited is carefully managed. The board has authorized the company to extend sponsor support strictly in proportion to its existing equity shareholding percentage within the emissions mitigation firm. This targeted support structure dictates that the parent entity will share the responsibility of funding any unforeseen cost overruns encountered during construction to guarantee project completion. Additionally, the company will fulfill its portion of the base equity contribution requirements as specified by the consortium of lending banks.
The agreement also outlines specific risk-mitigation clauses required by commercial financiers to secure long-term debt sustainability. The chemical company is authorized to fund the mandatory Debt Service Reserve Account using direct cash allocations, or alternatively, it can arrange an independent letter of credit in favor of the lending institutions to cover the debt obligations of the emissions firm. To wrap up the security framework, management is permitted to issue formal letters of comfort to the financial backers, ensuring all corporate commitments remain strictly aligned with the pre-established legal terms of both the support agreement and the broader bank facilities.
